seems, it matches any path with 2 sub dirs, ending with xyz and populates $1 with the 
second dir

for instance

if $cur_dir = "/cgi-bin/dev/xyz" 

then $1 is set to "dev"

Hi everyone,
Can anyone tell me what the following piece of code does :
 
my $cur_dir = cwd ();
if ($cur_dir =~ m, ^/.*/ (.*)/xyz,) {
}
 
Thanks,
hari
